ADRIAN GAJARDO, OF VALPARAISO, CHILI.

AUTOMATIC PASSENGER-REGISTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 437,985, dated October 7, 1890.

Application tiled August 4, 1890. Serial No. 360,966. (No model.)

T0 all when@ it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADRIAN GAJARDO. a citizen of the Republic of Chili, and a resident of Valparaiso, in the Province of Valparaiso, and Republic of Chili, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic Passenger-Registers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in automatic passenger-registers, the object being to provide a device of this character which shall automatically register the number of persons passing into and out of street or railroad cars, fair-grounds, and all other places where it is desired to accurately register the number ot persons passing into or out of an inclosure, and by means ot which it shall be impossible for an employ or attendant to be dishonest in reporting the true or actual number of persons passing into or out of such inclosure from whom he shall be required to collect fares or tolls.

A further object of my invention is to provide an automatic passenger-register which shall properly and correctly register the number of persons passing into and out of an inclosure and at the same time allow ot the conductor or other proper oiiicial to pass into and out of the door or gates without registering such passage, and, further, to so construct the device that the instrumentalities employed for registering the number of persons or passengers and those provided to allow of the passing of the proper officials shall be entirely ont of the control of the latter, thereby rendering it possiblein many instances to reduce the force or number of employs engaged in selling and receiving tickets and collecting tolls, and doing away entirely with those employs engaged to watch or cheek the conductors, and usually known and referred to as spotters In many instances, in the ease ot street and railroad cars, the entrance and exit door is changed from one end of the car to the other at the ends or termini of the route, and to prevent the necessity of providing each car with two devices, one at either end, it has been my object and purpose to so construct my improved device that it shall be capable of being moved from one end to the other. It is obvious that by this construction the device may also be transported from place to plaeethat is, from, say,

one fair-ground to another, from one gate orl entrance to another, or, if desired, from one city to another.

A further object of my invention is to so construct my improved passenger-register that the fewest number of parts maybe employed in order that it shall be simple and economical in its construction, not liable to get out of order, and capable of being manufactured at a small cost.

IVith these ends in view my invention con sists of certain novel features of construction and combinations ot parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a top plan View of my improved device, the coveror lid on one of the sides being removed to show the registering mechanism of its respective gate. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, partly in elevation and partly in section. Fig. 2 is a view of the collar or sleeve employed to hold the spring of the auxiliary gates against the shafts of the primary gates. Fig-3 is a view in side elevation of one pair of auxiliary gates. Fig. 4 is a plan view showing the relative positions of the primary and auxiliary gates after the former have been opened, and also showing the relative positions of the several parts when the gates are opened to allow the employ to pass without registering. Fig. 5 is a detached plan view of the registering mechanism. Figs. 6, 7, and 8 are detail side views of the same projected from Fig. 5. Fig. S) is a plan view showing the positions ot the sliding electro-magnet and its operating sliding plate when the gates are closed. Fig. l0 is a sectional view of the same. Fig. 1l is a similar view showing the relative positions of the magnet, armature, and sliding plates when the gates are opened by or for a passenger and when a registration is made of suoli. Fig. l2 is a similar View of the same parts when the gates are opened by the conductor and when no registration is made. Fig. 13 is a detached plan view of the primary and auxiliary gates. Figs. 14, 15, and 1G are detail views ot' bearings-formed on the primary gates for the reception of the ends IOO plan view ot a modified form of the registering mechanism. Figs 18 and 19 are det-ail side views of the same projected from Fig. 17. Fig. 20 is a planview of a modification, showing a connecting-rod to be placed below t-he device and connect the shafts of the primary gates to cause them to open or close simultaneously. Figs. 21 and 22 are views of the gates when constructed in the form of turnstiles. Fig. 23 is aview of a chain and sprocket-wheels to be attached to the shafts when turnstiles are employed in lieu of gates for causing them to rotate simultaneously. Figs. 24 and 25 are perspective an'd plan views,re speotively, showing the arrangement of the batteries and wires. Fig. 26 is a planview of the bell and operating parts attached tothe registering mechanism. Fig. 27 is a plan view of a modification, showing a second register secured to the device.

A represents the sides of the gate or passage Way, consisting, preferably, of upright wooden structures for inclosing the operating parts of thedevice, the lower ends B of these wooden structures being enlarged by inclining them inwardly, the purpose being to form a box or receptacle E at each of the four corners to contain batteries E E2 E3 E4, hereinafter referred to, and also to form the passage-way of such a width that two persons will not be able to pass through side by side. In these wooden sides Arevolve the shafts C', the lower ends of which are cone-shaped and bear on metal plates (not shown) secured tov the flooring, said shafts passing through and held in their upright positions by means of cross-pieces a. To these shafts are secured the primary gates F preferably made of metal, and consisting of the upper andlower horizontal pieces b and the vertical rods c. On the ends of the horizontal rods b are formed or secured the bearings G, slotted -horizontally for the purpose as hereinafter depositionsupon the shafts C by means of the set-screws cl', passing through the bearings and entering the shafts, as shown in Fig. 15.

H represents a pair of auxiliary gates seendse of the horizontal pieces f, fitting in the slots g', formed in the bearings G, the said enlarged ends c' being provided with openings through which the shaft C passes.

To the shafts C', and preferably about mid,- way their length, is placed the metal collars or sleeves I, provided with the slots i', through which pass the strap-springs J, the ends of which are securely fastened to the vertical rods 7c of the auxiliary gates, t-he tendency of which springs is to keep the primary gates F closed, and to retain the auxiliary gates H open and back against the sides, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. It will be understood from this construction and arrangement of parts that when the gates F are opened. in. either direction, the auxiliary gates on one side bear or strike against the shoulder m, formed' by slotting the bearings G, and are brought forward and assume substantially the same relative positions as did the gates l F, those auxiliary gates on the opposite side remaining stationary against the sides A, as shown in Fig. 4. When the gates F are opened in the opposite direction, theopposite set of auxiliary gates open in the same way, the first pair remaining stationary, the obl] ect of this arrangement being to allow but one person to pass in or out at a time, and thus prevent the gates F after one person has entered, from being held open to allow a second per son to enter without being registered.

After a person has passed through the gates F, the spring J, which has been bent or curved by reason of its attachment, as above described, will return the auxiliary gates to-their normal positions, as shown in Fig. 3,-that is, back againstl the sides A-and as the horizontal bars f strike against the shoulders fm.

of the bearings G the primary gates F` will also be returned to their norlnal closed position, it being evident that as said gatesF are. rigidly secured to the shafts C the latter-,will always be partially revolved when the gates vare opened. In order to prevent lthe possibility of the auxiliary gates on one side of the shaft being turned around against the gates F after the lat-ter have been opened to their fullest extent, I provide chains K, securely fastened to the sides A at one endand at their opposite ends to the auxiliary gates,

said chains being of such length as not. to

allow said auxiliary gates to be so far opened vas to. permit a person `to pass through them when the gates F are open, as shown in Fig.

4. In order, therefore, to allow a secondperson to pass through the gatesF, the auxiliary 3 gates must be allowed to swing back against the sides A, which action, asbefore described,

:simultaneously closes the gates F, as shown `-in Fig. 1. scribed. The gates F are held in their proper f In order to prevent the auxiliary'gates, when closed, from lstriking. thev vwooden sides A,I {secure to the latter the springs nx', against which they strike without jar or noise, as 'shown in Figs. 2. and 3.

cured to each of the shafts C', the enlarged j Io the lower ends of the shafts C' are' secured the pinions c2, which gearv with; the

teeth formed on the ends and opposite sides `of the rack-bar L, extending across the base l of the device. The purpose and'eect of this construction and arrangement are to cause both gates to open and closey simultaneously.

` Instead, however, of employing these devi'ces contained between the two plates 0o', and

IOC

which consists of atrain of wheels arranged v l 'in a manner similar to other registers nowin common use, openingsbeing cut in the outer shaft o4 is loosely mounted the disk o7, pro-A plate which register with similar openings r made in the side A, and through which the numbers on the dials may be seen, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. These registers, it will be hereinafter noticed, are placed in the diagonally opposite corners of the boxes A2, and are so connected with the gates that one gate will register when opened in one direction and the other gate register when opened in the opposite direction, the object and purpose of this arrangement being that in case one register should accidentally become or purposely be made inoperative the other will cause the per son to be registered either when passing in or out. On the outer plate o slides the plate 02, guided in its horizontal movements bythe pins 03. Through the plates o 0 o2 passes the shaft o4, to which is secured, between the plates 0 and o', the first disk o5 and the pawl 06, which latter by revolving with the shaft. o* operates the tra-in of ratchets and disks of the registering mechanism, all as shown in Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8, which train may be as long as desired; but I have found that four disks 05, representing units, tens, hundreds, and thousands, will generally suffice for most purposes. On the vided with a lug o8 fitting in the curved slot o9 formed in the sliding plate o2. To this shaft 04 is also secured the ratchet r, which revolves therewith, and to the revolving disk o7 is secured the spring-actuated pawl r2, operating in connection with said ratchet r. The operation of these part-s is as follows: Vhen the plate o2 is pulled in the direction as indicated by the arrow, (see Fig. 8,) the disk o7 is revolved one tooth by reason of the lu g oSi thereon working within the curved end of the slot o in the plate 02. This partial rotation of the disk also revolves the ratchet r through the intervention of the pawl r2. After the disk 07 has been rotated to a certain extent-that is, to the next tooth in the ratchet, as shown in Fig. 7-the lug o8 reaches the horizontal portion of the slot o9, thus allowing the plate 02 to be pulled outwardly until the end of the slot 0J strikes the shaft 0*, and this without turning or revolving the latter cr the parts connected thereto. Upon releasing the plate o2 it is returned to its original position by means of the spring r3, one end of which is secured to said plate 02 and the other end to the plate o', the disk o7, by means of the lug o8 and curved slot 09, being also returned to its original position, causing the pawl'l12 to engage with the next tooth in the ratchet r, the latter being prevented from rotating backwardly by reason of the dog r4, secured at one end to the plate o and having its opposite free end en gaging with the teeth of the ratchet r.

Although l prefer to use the above operating mechanism, I do not intend to limit my claim to such, as the particular construction and form of the several parts may be modified and still operate effectually--as, for instance, in Figs. 17, 18, and 19 of the drawings l have shown a modification wherein the springactuated pawl 1 is secured to the sliding plate 2, and when the latter is pulled forward turns the ratchet 3, the spring-actuated dog /lbcing in this instance placed at the top, the sliding plate 2 being guided in its horizontal movements by means of the shaft or spindle 5 of the ratchet 3 working in the straight elongated slot 6, formed in the sliding plate 2, the spring 7 being employed, as in the former instance for returning the plate 2 to its original position. After the ratchet 3 has been rotated one notch or tooth the plate 2 continues to slide outwardly, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 19, until the end of the slot 6 strikes the shaft 5. This for the purpose of allowing the gates to be opened to their fullest extent. A bell with its operating mechanism will be attached to this form of device, in every way the same as in the case of the device first above described, which is as follows: In order to give notice when a person passing through the gate is registered, Iprovide a bell L', constructed and arranged as follows: 'Fo the inner plate o is secured the plate S, provided at one end with a bell L. To this plate are secured the horizontal guide rods or strips Z, between which slides the plate Z', provided centrally with a longitudinal slot Z2 extending nearly its entire length. To the plate S and projecting through the slot Z2 are the bearings Z3, in which slides the rod Zt, provided on one end with a catch or shoulder Z5, Figs. 5 and 17, and on its opposite end with a knob or ball Z, for striking against the bell L. Between these bearings Z3 and around the rod Z4 is coiled the spring Z7, one end bearing against the forward bea-ring Z3 and the opposite end bearing against a pin or lug ZS, secured to the rod Z4, the object and purpose of the spring being to cause the rod when pulled forward, as indicated by the ar-4 row in Fig. 26, to fly back and cause the knob Z6 to strike the bell L. To the rod Z4 is secured the dat spring Z9, Fig. 5, which is slightly bent outwardly and passes through and bears against the bearing Z3 for the pur-A pose of retaining the shoulder or catch Z5 in engagement with the bent end Z12 of the rod Zw, secured to the sliding plate Z. On the under side of the rod Z4 and a short distance from the bearing Z3 is formed the curved shoulder or enlargement ZU, the effect of which is when the rod Z4 is pulled forward the shoulder Z11 in passing through the bearingZ3 forces the rod Z4 upwardly and releases the catch or shoulder Z5 from engagement with the bent end Z12 of the rod Zw, the forward end of the latter being secured to the sliding plate o2 and the lever or rod n by means of the post n. 1t will now be understood that when the sliding plate 02 is pulled forward, the rod Zlo being secured thereto, the latter is also pulled forward, and by reason of the bent end Z12 of the rod Z1o engaging with the shoulder or catch Z5 on the rod Z4 the latteris pulled forward until the shoulder Z11 strikes or passes through the bearing Z3, whereupon, as before described,

IOO

the rod Z4 is released, and by reason of the spring Z7 flies backwardly and sounds the bell L', the shoulder Z being formed on thebar Z4 at such a pointthat the latter is released and the bell sounded simultaneously with the registering of a passenger' caused by pulling the sliding plate o2 forward, as hereinbefore described.

In order to cause the ball Z6: to recede from the bell L after striking the same-,I secure tok the barZl the spring-plate mi", which, when the rod Z4 is forced backwardly in the direction toward the bell by means of the coiled spring Z7', strikes the two posts m21, secured to the plate S and connected-by the cross-piece rrthe spring-plate7^rt2"'allowing"the` rod to recede' suficiently far toy cause the ball to strike the bell, but immediately withdrawing it from contact therewith.

InY order to operate the registering mechanismby pulling forward the sliding'plate 02, as described, I secure to the upper end' of v each shaft G a crank-arm M, (see Figs. 1 and 2,). tothe free end of which is secured the connecting-rod mlwhich in turn i's connected with the plate m4, sliding in the grooved plate M", located inl the receptacle Ag. On this grooved plate also slides the electromagnet N, having hinged thereto the bel-lcralrk fn,- the vertical arm n of which carries the armature: n2', and' the horizontal arm oli'v whichfnfl has its end n4 slightly turned upward'lyin order that when the armature n2 is` attracted by and held against the electro-- magnet N the n3 will be slightly raised, in order to allo-wl the sli-dem4 to be forced'. under. it, as shown in Figs.4 and 12.. To the magnet N isl secured one'end of a lever orl 1'odn5,.the opposite endI of which: is connected to` the sliding plate 02; They operation of thesepartsI is as follows:` When the gates are opened,y the shaft C" is turned, which through the interventionI of the crank-arm- M and. connecting-rod fm,g forces the slide. m4

along the grooved plate M" until it strikes the end of the horizontal arm 'n3 of the bell.- crank Asthe gates continue to open,.the: slide mtpushesf the magnet along', as shown in Fig. 11, and'which magnet being connected withv the sliding plate o? by the connectingrod a5 causesv they plate o2 to be pulled forwardly andI the registering mechanism operated. When the gates are released, the springJ causesthe gates and operatin g mechanisnr to resume their original positions. Nh-eny the. gates. are opened in the opposite direction,l the register-:and its mechanism on the; opposite sidfe will be.Y operated, the slide.

'm4, connected with the` gate firstl mentioned, bein-g pulled away from the magnet,l asshown onleft-hand side of Fig; 4f, and thus preventing a registration on both sides. when the gates are opened, and at the same time allow- Eparts it might be possible for the conductor or other oicial in charge to:soplacehis-rfoot,v

ingof a registration to be made "on one side when the gates: are opened in one direction,

@to the other, as-shown at c2 c2.

and on the opposite side when the gates are opened in the opposite direction.

It will now be understood from theforegoing description that every time the gates are out registering,I provide batteriesE E2'E3 E,

.located asbefore mentioned. To the positive `pole of the battery E is connected,by awire or metal strip e e, abrass or copper plate E E, and to the negative pole of the battery E4v fis' connected,by a similar wire or metal strip e"e, the plate E E', which plates extend entirely across the wooden door of the device. To the negative' pole of the battery Ef is attached the end of the wire a a, the opposite .1 end of which is connected to a metal bar a a", having secured thereto a spring-plate` a2` az', secured to the woodenl sifdeA and bearing' 1 on the electromagnet N, a second similar l spring-plate (not shown) being secured to the f bar c4 c4, Fig. 9', which latter isA connected with la Wire c c, passing down and' connected with z the positive poll'e ofthe battery E2,which battery is connected' with the battery EB by mean-s of the wire cV c,-Fig.V 24, having attached thereto the electric bell OZ eZ.. Il? delsi'red, however, the bellmay be omitted, and

the wire" stretched' directly from one battery The opposite poles of the batteriesESand E4`are connected bythe wires d d', thecon-ta'ct being made with the magnets N in the same way as upon the other side, thus leaving the circuit broken onlybetween the plates E E and E E. order to complete the circuit, the conductor'or other oliicial has abouthisperson (preferably :around his waist,) a wire or other suitable electrical conductor O O, the ends of which. are connected to platesm m, attached to hisk j shoes ss. 1conductor steps upon the plates E ELE. E', ywhich completes the circuit. The magnet N iin such case attracts the armatures n2,rai's- 'ing the armsn3, whichY whenthe gates are l opened allows the slide m4 tov pass under the In passing through the gates F the arm n3, as shownl in Figs. 4 and 12, thereby preventing the magnet from being moved, and preventing a registration being made: of his opening the gates. completed, the electric bell cZ cZ gives asign-al 4to those inside the car, warning the passen- .ger ofthe entrance of the conductor and of `the entrance of any other person withoutbeing registered..v Instead of so widely separatging the plates E E and E E', itis obvious that theyy may be' placed closer together,.and ia plate. attached to oneY shoe only'of` the coni ductor,y (not shown,)in order that hemay'step on both plates-at one time, and thus complete vthe circuit and pass` through the gatesV with-- When the.` circuit is out registering; but by thus arranging the IIO Vto the device itself. I secure to the wooden vertical side 30 the two coiled around them the springs 33.

yof these plates 3l are secured the ends of the open the gates, and then allow a person to pass without being registered, but by causing him to stand close to the gates and employ both feet for completing the circuit, as first described, this is not possible.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that by simple and unessential changes or modifications of the parts my invention may be applied to stairways leading from the lower oor of a car to an upper floor, the plates E E and E E in those instances being made to move vertically, as is the case with those devices of similar character, and which need not here be shown or set forth in detail. The gates or doors F may also be changed, modied, or varied, as desired, the form or style of gate somewhat depending upon the purpose for which the device is to be used. It may be desired in some instances, especially where large crowds or numbers of persons are to be allowed to pass without delay, to omit the auxiliary gates. In such instances, and where room will permit of the same, I prefer to use the form of gates as shown in Figs. 2l and 22 of the drawings-that is, one form of turnstile of which C and C are the shafts, having loosely secured thereto the cam 20, which when the stiles are revolved strikes the wheelbearing 2l, secured in the end of the sliding plate 02, and forces the same backwardly and operates the registering mechanisms, as before described, said cam having secured thereto the ratchet 22, with which engages the pawl 23, secured to the under side of the disk 24, secured tightly to the shaft C', this arrangement of parts allowing the shaft to be reversed without operating the cam and slide 02. The lower ends of these shafts have secured thereto the sprocket-wheels 25, connected by the twisted chain 26 for the purpose of causing the two stiles to work in unison, all being arranged for one stile to register when opened in one direction and the other in the opposite direction.

In Fig. 27 I have shown a second register attached to my device, as it may in many instances be desirable, especially when my improved register is used at the stations of elevated roads, ferries, fair-grounds, or other `places where it is intended to be made stationary to not only register in the device itself, but to have it simultaneously register at some distant place, as in the office of the superintendent or other place where it may be desirable to ascertain at anytime the state of the register without the necessity of referring Toaccomplish this end,

metal plates 3l, connected to the batteries, and having iitted therein the horizontal sliding pins or bars S2, each of the latter having To each wires 34, connected -to the electro-magnet 35, located near a suitable register 0, which in turn may be located atany point desired. 36 represents the armature of the magnet 35,

which armature is secured to the operatinglever 37; adapted, when pulled toward the magnet, to operate the register numbered 4:0. To the insulated box containing the magnet N is secured the plate al, which, when the magnet N is forced backwardly by reason of a person passing through the gates F, as hereinbefore described, strikes against the yielding pins or bars 32, thereby completing the circuit through the plate 4l by reason of its touching the ends of said pins or bars 32, the effect being to send the current through the magnet 35, which attracts the armature 36 and operates the registering mechanism in the register 40. lVhen the gates F are released after a person has passed through them, the magnet N returns to its normal position, thereby breaking the circuit between the pins 32 and allowing the armature 36 to be raised and also assume its normal position. This operation is of course repeat-ed each and every time the gates F are opened to allow a passenger to pass through them; but in the case of the conductor or other official passing through the gates F, the magnet N remaining stationary, as before described, the plate tl,not coming in contact with the pins 32, leaves the circuit to the register 40 broken and prevents a registration in the latter of the passage of the conductor through the gates F.
